If you don’t like Star Wars or the characters understand that there are decisions makers and harassing the actors/ actresses will do nothing. You’re not entitled to politeness when your approach is rude. Even if you paid for a ticket! ????????‍♂️

Meanwhile, director Rian Johnson took a moment to appreciate fans who debate online with “humour, love and respect“.

On social media a few unhealthy people can cast a big shadow on the wall, but over the past 4 years I’ve met lots of real fellow SW fans. We like & dislike stuff but we do it with humor, love & respect. We’re the VAST majority, we’re having fun & doing just fine. https://t.co/yhcShg5vdJ

But he was taking no shit from anyone who didn’t acknowledge the cruelty of the campaign against Tran.

Sorry but that’s nonsense. I’ve made it crystal clear who I’m talking about when I call out toxic behavior – not reasonable fans who dislike the movie, but aggressive trolls who harass my cast and crew with insults and threats.

Not by me they’re not. Have questions, raise issues, disagree to your heart’s content, that’s what fandom is all about. But if someone’s an asshole to me or my friends, I reserve the right to call them an asshole.

Tran quit Insty almost two years after her cast mate Daisy Ridley also quit the site, she too having been harangued by ‘fans’ for expressing support for the family members of the victims of gun violence.

According to The Guardian, an online hate group have claimed responsibility for the attacks on Tran, in a since-deleted Facebook post.

The group, who aim to “Bring back the Straight White Male Hero” (*barf*), were previously behind an attempt to fudge a negative Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes for Black Panther. To the extent that the group were actually thrown off Facebook for creating an event encouraging their followers to derail the film’s critical reception score on the reviews aggregator.
